California Girls

...

"Oooooh Oh Oooooh!" 17 year old Cat Valentine sang her lungs out after she turned up the radio in her boyfriend's car, who was laughing at her silliness. "California girls
We're unforgettable
Daisy Dukes
Bikinis on top
Sun-kissed skin
So hot
We'll melt your popsicle
Oooooh Oh Oooooh!"
Cat danced in her seat, looking at the ocean while 17 year old Beck Oliver drove on the freeway. California girls
We're undeniable
Fine, fresh, fierce
We got it on lock
West coast represent
Now put your hands up
Oooooh Oh Oooooh!"
Cat giggled wildly as she turned the radio back down. "I love that song!"

"Why?" Beck smirked. "Because you're a California Girl yourself?"

Cat bat her eyes at him. "And I melt you're popsicle?"

Beck grinned. "Yes, ma'am."

Suddenly, Cat was jumpy again. "I'm so excited, Beck!" Cat squealed in her seat, antsy as they were nearing the beach. "Oh, it's such a beautiful day, the sun is bright and pretty, the sky is baby blue, and the ocean already looks clean and blue!" She said with pure excitement as her hair was blowing in the wind, since Beck put the top of his convertible town.

Beck smiled. "I'm glad you're already having fun." He took her hand and kissed it. "I want you to have the perfect day."

Cat giggled to him. "If I'm spending time with you, my day is already perfect."

Something Beck had never felt before: butterflies in his stomach when she said those kind words. "You look gorgeous too." He commented on her pink and gray dress that covered the bathing suit she had underneath, which he was excited to see. She had her hair in a ponytail, curls at the end, and pink flip-flops. "You're taking my breath away." He told her and they laughed.

Cat leaned against his arm. "You need to work on your pick up lines, darling." She mused and Beck faked a pout. "I still don't understand why we couldn't bring our friends today."

"Cat, it's our 3 year anniversary of being a couple." Beck told her in an obvious tone. "I want to enjoy this with YOU and no one else."

"Tori, Jade, Andre, and Robbie weren't happy when you told them they couldn't come." Cat told him. "Jade said she wanted to make sure you didn't do anything funny with me."

Beck rolled his eyes. "Haven't you already told her we've had sex?"

Cat giggled. "Yes, but she's promised not to beat you up and rip your eyeballs out. Would that hurt?" She asked innocently.

Beck forced himself not to gulp out of relief and fear. "Yes, baby, that would hurt."

Cat did a little scream of joy. "We're here! We're here! Yay, Beck, we're here!"

Beck laughed. "I heard you the first time, kitten."

Beck and Cat started dating right after they started Hollywood Arts High School. He went out with Jade first, thinking he wanted the bad girl, but Jade said she didn't like him that way and introduced him to her best friend since kindergarten, Cat Valentine. Beck thought it was love at first sight. He began to love her innocent, bubbly personality. He has not seen her cry or angry since he's met her. Sure, she was moody ever now and then, always losing her happiness when something bothered her, but Beck would take care of it for her and she'd be his joyful angel again. When it was their 1 year anniversary, Beck finally said he loved her. Their 2nd year anniversary, Beck gave her a promise ring that meant she was his forever. It was their senior year now so they were now celebrating their 3 year anniversary. Beck thought that since his beloved girlfriend loved the beach, they would go there for a day. He would do absolutely anything for her. He'd die for her if it ever came down to that. He was positive that she would be his wife and mother of his future children someday. He would never let her go anyways.

Beck left the car and opened his trunk, taking the picnic basket Cat packed and beach bag that had their towels and sunscreen, along with other necessities, in there. He put the stuff down by the passenger door and opened it for Cat because that's how it's been for 3 years. He was a solid gentleman. Cat tried to carry one of the bags, but he shook his head at her with a smirk. He never let her carry things. She rolled her eyes and put on her pink, clear sunglasses and wrapped an arm around his, linking arms.

When they found a free place to put their things, He put out the blanket while Cat brought out the sunscreen, the most important thing since Cat burned real easy. They sat down and Beck wanted to rub it on Cat first since he never wanted her to get burned. She took off her cover dress in front of him and his jaw dropped.

Cat smiled flirtatiously. "Do you like it? I bought it just for today." She had on a white, tiny bikini and it had random red designs on them. Beck thought he was drooling. She leaned in to kiss him and he wrapped his arms around him, loving the feeling of her soft skin. Once they broke the kiss, Cat kissed the top of his nose. "We need to get sunscreen on, babe." She whispered. Beck nodded slowly and Cat put sunscreen on her arms and her legs, along with face and her chest, which made Beck want to kiss her again. She handed him the bottle. "Can you put some on my shoulders and backside?" She asked sweetly, knowing Beck was enjoying the view.

Beck nodded again as Cat turned around, sitting Indian style before him. He kneeled on his knees behind her and rubbed the cream on her shoulders and back, making sure she was covered good because he didn't want her to burn, as he said before. "My turn now, I guess." He said and Cat nodded. He unbuttoned his shirt and took it off, Cat blushing at him from how hot he was. He rubbed the sunscreen on his legs and arms, but Cat put it on his chest, face, and back. Before she was done, she kissed his neck in the place he was sensitive at. "Not fair." He groaned, knowing they couldn't do much in front of so many people on the busy beach.

Cat giggled and opened the picnic basket. "Let's eat, since we didn't eat breakfast this morning."

Beck agreed and as Cat made the sandwiches, a few good looking guys came up behind Cat. Their shadows covered her and half the blanket. Beck went into protective-boyfriend mode. "Need something?" He said with venom. Cat slid over to Beck, nervous and afraid, and he wrapped his arm around her tightly.

One guy chuckled. "Hey, babe, why don't you ditch that loser and hang with us?" His friends nodded with smirks. "We'll show you a really good time, if you know what I mean." And he gave her a wink.

Cat shook her head shyly. "No, thank you." She said in her small voice.

"Walk away." Beck glared dangerously at them.

Suddenly the guy kicked the sand and it flew on their food and them. Cat screamed. "Beck, it's in my eyes!" She cried out, rubbing her eyes.

Beck tried to help her. "Don't rub it, babygirl." He whispered, trying to comfort her. He glared the guys, who were looking pretty smug for causing them pain. "You bastards! Leave her alone!" He snarled as Cat leaned against him, crying at the stinging pain. He quickly grabbed a napkin from inside the basket and a water bottle, dipping some drops on it, handing it to Cat, who wiped it over her eyes. Beck looked to the guys. "Why the hell are you still here? Beat it!"

"Let us play with your girlfriend and we'll leave." The main guy said like it was nothing.

To Beck, it was something. "You dare touch her and I'll beat you into a bloody pulp."

They laughed at his threat. "We'll take our chances." And suddenly he reached out and grabbed Cat by the arm after she was recovered from the sand in her eyes. Cat squealed in fright as the scary man pulled her to her feet and was gripping her arm. "Hey, babe."

Beck lost it now. No one touches his girlfriend when she doesn't want it. He stood to his feet and clenched his fists. "Let her go, now." He growled. "This is your LAST warning."

The guys just laughed and pulled Cat with them as they tried to walk away with her. "Beck!" Cat terrified voice was heard.

Beck made the one who had Cat in a bruising grip turned back to him and he punched him in the face, making him fall to the ground with Cat. "What did I tell you?" Beck growled. "Don't TOUCH my girlfriend!" The guy who's nose was now broken stood up, looking to his friends. They all ran away suddenly. Beck let out a shaky breath, dropping the tough guy charade as he helped Cat to her feet. "Are you alright, Cat?" He looked at her arm, with was getting a mix of purple and blue handprint on it.

She nodded and leaned against him, he wrapped his arms around her. "That was scary." She mumbled. He kissed the top of her head and led her back to sit down. He shook the blanket out to get the sand off and when he put it back down, Cat squeaked with joy. "Beck, Beck! The food is fine! Yay!"

Beck chuckled. "See? Your day isn't ruined after all." They sat down and after eating and playing in the water for a bit, they cuddled together on the blanket.

Cat sighed. "You're my protector forever, right?" She looked up at him from her spot on his bare chest.

Beck nodded and kissed her head again. "That's right, babygirl. Nothing will harm you while I'm around."

Cat giggled. "Good."

"But Cat…"

"Hmm?"

"Don't ever wear such a tiny bikini ever again."

"No promises."


Ps…it's my birthday today…
